this is likely not a CO2 issue. If anything everything grows better in a higher CO2 environment, let alone a warmer one. We can see this from when it happened before.
Trying to go through the NA Drought Atlas, curious if there are other geological events they can tie some of the really severe past droughts too. If anything their document simply states that severe droughts are a matter of record and its possible that current climate issues attributed to man by some may exaggerate the effect of subsequent droughts; frankly as far as I am concerned it can go either way because some past droughts were incredible and in no way affected by man though they did a number on a nontech world

No, it depends on the plant. Plants evaporate water to control internal temperature, and changes in climate will alter no just the exterior temperature but levels of soil moisture, which changes the types of flora that can inhabit an area substantially. Extreme weather events happen all the time, but their increase in probability means that there is now a much greater variance in global food output. And considering that food production is extremely controller versus the natural mechanisms organisms generally have available, it leads to the acceleration of the current mass extinction event we're living in.
